Listening C1 Trinity + posibles respuestas

Aquí os dejo algunos vídeos y grabaciones que he utilizado en clase para dar pie a debates en clase, y para practicar resumiendo los puntos principales, la opinión del hablante y/o la conclusión de este.

Recopilé estos vídeos de cara al de C1 Trinity College por falta de material. Estos coinciden, la mayoría, con un 'subject area' del examen.
